Stainless steel evaporator and concentrator with vertical columns and control panel
Evaporators and Concentrators

Evaporator and Concentrator

An evaporator, also called a concentrator, used on milk powder, fruit juice powder, concentrated fruit juice, fruit jam, tomato paste and tomato ketchup production lines. Falling film, forced circulation and small scale laboratory types are available, and the machine is designed to client requirements rather than sold as one fixed model. Working capacity runs from 1000L/H to 30,000L/H in SUS304, with a Siemens PLC and touch screen, brand instrumentation and the vacuum, pump and condenser package included as standard components.

Specifications are configured per project. Send your drawing, capacity or duty requirement and the build will be confirmed in writing with the quotation.
Why It Works

Key Benefits

Three evaporator types let the build follow the product so thin juice and heavy paste are each handled appropriately

Siemens PLC and touch screen control makes concentration repeatable instead of operator dependent

Capacity from 1000L/H to 30,000L/H covers pilot through plant scale on the same equipment family

A small scale laboratory concentrator lets recipes be proved before committing to production scale equipment

Vacuum pump centrifugal pump and condenser supplied together so the concentration stage arrives as one package

Problems

Problems It Solves

One evaporator type cannot handle both low viscosity juice and heavy paste efficiently

Manual control of concentration gives batch to batch variation in final solids

Buying vacuum pumps instrumentation and condenser separately leaves integration risk at commissioning

Scaling a recipe straight from bench to production without a pilot unit risks an unusable first batch

Comparison

How It Compares

Spray dryer

The evaporator removes water in the liquid phase while the spray dryer turns the concentrate into powder

Falling film type

Falling film suits lower viscosity feeds and gentle heat exposure

Forced circulation type

Forced circulation suits heavier and more viscous feeds such as paste and jam

FAQ

Evaporator and Concentrator FAQ

Which evaporator type suits my product

Falling film, forced circulation and small scale laboratory concentrators are available. The choice follows the product viscosity and heat sensitivity, so send the product details for a recommendation.

What capacities can be built

From 1000L/H to 30,000L/H, customised to the line.

What products is it used for

Milk powder, fruit juice powder, concentrated fruit juice, fruit jam, tomato paste and tomato ketchup production lines.

How is the machine controlled

With a Siemens PLC and touch screen, supported by brand temperature and pressure instrumentation and high and low level switches.

Is a pilot scale unit available

Yes. A small scale laboratory concentrator is one of the available types and is used to prove a recipe before production scale.

What is the lead time

It depends on the type, capacity and control scope specified and is confirmed in writing with the quotation.
